‘Tentacles’ is a small gem of an anthology. The four stories
are all written around the theme of tentacles, but that is the only thing they
have in common; all give you the creeps in a very different way. ‘Solar
Pioneer’ is a short space opera where an attempted rescue operation goes
horribly awry- ‘Alien’ has nothing on this story! ‘Mr. Sweede’ doesn’t have the
crashing action of the first story; instead, it has a horror that creeps over
you in a near physical way. ‘Zaural’ is a work of hard science fiction; it’s
not horror but has a kind of weird beauty to it, while ‘The Sacrifice’ is,
while horrifying in a way, quite touching and funny, too. If you have a love
for the slimy, creeping tentacle, read this book!
